Thanks for the advice EMTEC. The equation typed in was an error on my part, but thanks for telling me what the r value stood for. I appreciate it.

Using Lame' Equation for Hoop stress the equation states
Hoop Stress=(a^2pi-b^2po) - (pi-po)a^2b^2
b^2-a^2 (a^2-b^2)r^2
pi=interior pressure
po=exterior pressure
a=interior radius
b=exterior radius
What does the r stand for? is it the total radius or is it...
Thanks MJCronin, I have already figured the question out, but thanks for the advise anyway. In this case the design of the vessel is unique and I have gone by the CSA BG1 along with the ASME VIII codes in order to design it.
Tahnks again

I am designing a tank that holds and heats a corrosive drilling fluid which is to be kept away from strong oxidizing agents. I am wondering what type of material should be used for the casing of the unit.
The unit will heat the solution to 600F using an indirect heat source of steam.
Any...
What material would be best suited for vessel casing in a situation where the unit heats a material up to 600F using an indirect heat source of steam and has the ability to be put under vacuum?
What type of material would be best used for construction of a vessel in a situation where the unit heats up a material to approximately 600F using an indirect heat source of steam and has the ability to be put under vacuum?
